Modern imaging sensors, like digital photo and video cameras, LIDARs, or medical devices measure huge amounts of data day-by-day. Pattern Recognition and Image Processing aims at the extraction of information from such data.

Simple tasks like the detection of human faces are already solved and solutions are commercially available in digital cameras. More challenging applications such as the image-based autonomous navigation or the detection of anomalies in medical images require systems to incorporate some knowledge to enhance the recognition results and to give semantically appropriate interpretations.

Traditionally, such knowledge could for instance include the characteristics of the camera system or the available processing strategies. More importantly, however, recognition results can be improved by incorporating the composition and structure of the environment. Indeed, the information to be extracted from images is closely related to pieces of data from the same environment that gives them meaning.

Unfortunately, it turns out that methods of statistical pattern recognition cannot cope with the image structure well. The methods of deep-learning too are not yet capable of exploiting the structural nature of images.

At PRIP we are focusing on advanced image representations and methods that allow the structure of the image to become an essential part of recognition systems.
